  • Patent number: 5599365
    Abstract: A mechanical fluid separator defines an interior chamber for centrifugally separating entrained media from a fluid stream. The mechanical fluid separator has a fluid inlet connecting the interior chamber with a media entrained fluid source. A cone shaped baffle disposed within the mechanical fluid separator defines a conical surface having a concave surface and a convex surface. The conical surface has an annular base side and an annular apex side. The base side terminates in a circumferential rim contacting the annular chamber surface above the fluid inlet and said apex side terminates in an apex annular hole. The fluid stream is centrifugally directed in a first direction about the annular chamber surface and the convex surface of the conical baffle to disentrain the entrained media from the fluid stream. The disentrained fluid stream then passes through a window in the cone shaped baffle and escapes through a fluid outlet.
